Mistmoore Casters
 

I was messing around on live today and decided to goto MM. Not sure if its a live or thing or what but with 72 mr I am getting chain rooted by the casters here. On red/blue i dont ever recall getting rooted by the casters. Maybe I was just lucky. I am going to see if there were changes to the casters here with the wayback time machine, I know MR has been reworked, but its a very noticeable difference. Also roots are lasting for entire duration instead of only 20 seconds or so.

Just thought it was odd.

tl:dr caster mobs in MM root like a son of a bitch on live but not here.

I've gotten charmed by the negotiator. At 60. Fucking lols. Also on a higher end note--I don't give a fuck what level phara dar is, I was getting hit by that AOE with about 450 MR. Unacceptable.

bring back vampire charm or wipe it clean

I never resisted it on live on my cleric. Every PD fight I was a statue till I died, most of the time with 80% or more mana. Even wearing velious MR gear I got ripped. Was a running gag by the time we stopped doing it. 'Hey Aeol, stand over there and distract those pigeons.' 'What is your MR? 4?' 'You buff everyone, you won't use your mana on this fight anyway!'

sigh, hate pdiddy.

so are can the casters in MM even cast root? i dont know how mobs work but how do they decide to root over nuke or is it just random.

I'm not sure I've ever been rooted by an NPC (except by ghouls) on p99. Same with snare.

I'm not sure if that's good luck or as a result of a bug but interesting nonetheless.

The npcs in mistmoore that can cast root-type spells are necromancers or wizards.

As a general note, are npcs on p99 casting root? It's on their list, but perhaps they are not using it at a high enough priority, or something is wrong with it.

Can I get additional commentary from others about npcs rooting (or snaring) from casted spells? This leads me to believe there is something wrong with casted root, since ghoulroot is a proc and works fine.

There are plenty of mobs rooting its fine. If anything the fact that mm mobs can charm lvl 60's is more of an issue. As a monk puller i can tell you that root is cast plenty.

Cleric NPCs root pretty often. Not really sure on others.

as a side note i was able to charm efreeti as a level 56 chanter with no tash or malo.. is something up with charm in general ?
